The world is excited about the sharp action embodied by Keanu Reeves. With each installment, the scale and global box office of the 'John Wick' series continue to rise, becoming a major hit. The latest film, 'Ballerina: The World of John Wick,' will finally be released nationwide this week on August 22 (Friday). This film is set in the same timeline as the third installment, 'John Wick: Parabellum' (2019). While maintaining the stylish and peculiar worldview that changed film history with its excessive action, the film promises to enhance the power of its action! It tells the story of the birth of the 'Goddess of Revenge,' injecting new blood into the expanding John Wick world. Eve, who has trained for 12 years in the assassin training organization Ruska Roma, which is also John Wick's old haunt, seeks revenge for her father's murder when she was young. After parting ways with friends she trained with and passing a cruel final test, she is assigned her first mission by the director (Angelica Huston) to protect the daughter of a wealthy man, Katla Park (Suyon). The professional assassins targeting Katla are fully equipped, while Eve is given only a Glock 43X with rubber bullets. This ultra-strict content challenges her with just a toy for her assassin debut, but Eve successfully infiltrates the club where Katla is playing. Initially overwhelmed by the attacking assassins, Eve rises with style and unleashes her 'Gun-Fu.' Dressed in a glamorous dress, she dances gracefully and shoots sharply. As a true 'Ballerina Spec,' she elegantly evolves the legacy of the JW series. Will Eve be able to protect Katla safely?! Regarding this scene, Ana de Armas reflects, 'It was a battle for Eve's growth. She is trying to step out into the real world from Ruska Roma. This scene shows her learning the necessary skills through this mission, while being frustrated with herself for making mistakes.' Unlike the seasoned John Wick, Eve is not always calm and collected, making her a uniquely charming character in the series that audiences want to support. Additionally, Suyon, who makes her Hollywood debut in this film, suggests that the story is not only an action film but also explores the father-daughter relationship, hinting at drama not seen in previous 'John Wick' series. Furthermore, there will be limited giveaways for viewers of the large format screenings! In addition to 2D screenings, the film will also be shown in large formats such as Dolby Cinema®, Dolby Atmos®, MX4D, and 4DX. A limited number of stickers featuring overseas art visuals will be distributed exclusively to viewers of the large format screenings. Experience this film with powerful visuals and sound, and be sure to get this rare sticker. ■ Work Overview 'Ballerina: The World of John Wick' will be released nationwide on August 22, 2025.
